I found out why it was not working.
The line, 'Part.should_receive(:update_attributes).with('title' => 'Brake
pads').and_return(part)' should not be there because the controller specs
should not care about implementation (ie. how things are processed, rather
just what is done). I realised this when I looked at my specs for creation
of new objects.
I commented the line and the spec now passes as expected.
------------ Spec extract starts -------------------------
context 'saves updates to an existing part object successfully' do
it 'does its job in saving the update' do
Part.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(part)
# Part.should_receive(:update_attributes).with('title' => 'Brake
pads').and_return(part)
put :update, :id => 1, :part => {'title' => 'Brake pads'}
flash[:notice].should eq('Part was successfully updated.')
end
end
------------ Spec extract ends -------------------------
Thank you for your help, Justin!
